...arrangements for the hijack team, funneling cash to them and also, on one occasion, to Zacarias Moussaoui, who was detained in Minnesota before the attacks and has since been charged with six counts of conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism. Binalshibh also is thought to have worked closely with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 38, a Pakistani born in Kuwait with a long history of links to terrorist groups, who investigators believe was also involved in the Sept. 11 plot. Mohammed, too, appears in the al-Jazeera interviews, in which he describes himself as "the head of the al-Qaeda military committee...

Now they want to talk to him about a plan that worked. Mohammed, 37, who was born in Kuwait, is believed to have been a key player in the Sept. 11 attacks. "He was involved in every aspect--concocting the scheme, training, financing," says a U.S. official. Mohammed has been fingered by Abu Zubaydah, a top lieutenant of Osama bin Laden now in U.S. custody at a secret location, and by some...
